An estimated 345 uninsured and underinsured women in Muskingum, Morgan, Perry and surrounding counties will now have the opportunity to receive free screening mammograms, diagnostic mammograms and other breast cancer prevention and treatment options thanks to almost $59,000 in grant money awarded to Genesis Health Care System by Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

"We want to make sure they get an annual mammogram and look for any abnormalities. If we find them, then we can go from there," said Sharon Parker, Genesis Cancer Services director.
